.\"--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.\"  DESCRIPTION
.\"--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmydnsimport\fP enables the importation of zone data from external sources
into MyDNS.  If an import technique is specified (for example, via the
\fB--axfr\fP option), the specified zone data will be loaded and
\fBmydnsimport\fP will output MySQL statements to add the zone data to your
database.

Currently, \fB--axfr\fP is the only import technique recognized.

.\"  OPTIONS
.\"--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH OPTIONS

.IP "\fB-a\fP, \fB--axfr\fP=\fIhostname[:port]\fP"
Load \fIzone\fP information from the specified \fIhostname\fP via the
DNS-based AXFR command.

.IP "\fB-d\fP, \fB--drop-zone\fP"
If this option is specified, all current resource record data for the
specified zone will be deleted before the zone is imported.  This might be
useful if you are using this program to make MyDNS act as a slave to a
different nameserver program, for example.

.IP "\fB-v\fP, \fB--verbose\fP"
Enable verbose output while running.

.IP "\fB--help\fP"
Display program help and exit.

.IP "\fB--version\fP"
Output version number and exit.
